Wow, dank meme troggoths can be taken in a unit of 1-3? That's pretty awesome. And Boingrot Bounderz being 5 for 100 seems like a steal. I'd gladly pay 200 for a unit of 10. And 160 for 3 rockgut trolls? These point costs seem pretty nice to me

*sigh* That's not really what the phrase means, but if you insist on further embarrassing yourself...

Look! More mortals wounds. Just like I fething said.

It is true that the endless spells all deal mortal wounds, but that is not all they do. One buffs a spell caster and has to be fed mortals wounds. One can be used to block off parts of the battlefield to the enemy while allowing you to move freely if you have a spider army. One is a fairly typical mortal wound generator that is particularly powerful against hordes. The last also generates mortal wounds but also debuffs enemy spell casting which is very useful in AoS right now.

And the old trolls, goblin fanatics and squigs are gone from Games Workshop webstore. A shame -- I had just considered getting some of the old models, as I never had bought any. I'm not quite sure why GW doesn't put the figures on "last chance to buy" or something. Oh well.

It does mortal wounds =/= the purpose is to do mortal wounds. You are clearly wrong here.

That Skryre warlock!
I'm hoping that's the doom rocket that's made a return.
Seems like an insanely one sided match though.

Small armies mean a small board, flesh eaters will decimate them up close and it's not a great deal of shooting.
Does however mean a new model and cheap eBay skryre for me so happy days.
Just hoping it's followed with a plastic acolyte kit so I don't have to convert any more.

Skryre has the edge actually; stormfiends will beat the crap out of any one of those FEC units in melee so they will need to be ganged up on, leaving the other units more room to shoot. This is assuming the stormfiends have the pictured weapon options and not what people actually take (3x warpfire) in which case the Skryre wins hands down unless that FEC hero is a serious badass.

In fairness DoK do seem to need a second-wave release. When one looks at the releases that grots and Idoneth have had its clear that GW is boosting up armies to be larger now for AoS in terms of unit diversity. DoK are still "small" in general (at least in terms of kits if you ignore the fact that the cauldron makes multiple options). A second wave with a new leader in a start collecting box and a set of endless spells would be good (though saying that Idoneth also need their endless spells too)

I think they’ll do this kind of release for older factions (Sylvaneth, Kharadron, Fyreslayers) when they update the Battletome. Problem with DoK is that it already has a new style Battletome. It and Deepkin’s were supposedly made with AoS2 already in mind. They do need some endless spells though.

Idoneth also need an Akhelian on a monster mount to really finish out their setup. The King is nice and all but could really use that monstrous mount...

I'm, personally, thinking that the 'new leader' for DoK is going to be something mounted to go along with the theme that the Doomfires can setup.

And for a bit of wild speculation with regards to the contents of Deepkin:
1x Akhelian King
1x Akhelian Eel Riders
1x Akhelian Allopex

Feel like DoK could do with a hero that is either Sister of Slaughter and/or Khinerai.

Personally I feel that GW could have harvested a bit more from the old Dark Elf range into Daughters of Khaine. The Dark Elf Sorceress and one on the dragon could have fit relatively easy into a DoK theme army.

As someone who doesn't play AoS but am getting mighty tempted to just buy some gitz and at that point might dabble in them game, can someone explain to me if the sneaky snufflers are at all good? I love truffle squigs (and that's something I never though I'd say a couple of weeks ago)

Let's be honest : these kits will be usable in many others games as well, including those from Mantic Games. But also for RPG. I mean, they gakking have goblin "truffle hunters", and the gobbapalooza have such character that they are perfect for some quite excentric goblin NPC/opponent.

By that he is specifically right.

He said they all do Mortal Wounds.
Unless I missed another post where he then said their “purpose” is to do Mortal Wounds...

For ease as it’s acouple of pages back now..

Regarding the FEC.
I think in no way are they getting more than that character unfortunately guys..
Don’t get too excited.

Look at all the other army boxes that had new characters in them, how many got other releases?
Necrons, Eldar etc. Not sure on the AoS ones without checking up..

(Endless Spells And a terrain piece though, perhaps, as that seems to be something all armies are slowly getting, whether other new bits or not..)

Still beating that dead horse ? By the way, it's completely false, since the "vanilla" endless spells don't do all Mortal Wounds.

Prismatic Palisade is a summoned obstacle, Emerald Lifeswarm heals, Balewind Vortex enhances the caster it carries, Chronomantic Cogs are one of the favorite played for their easy buffs and making it more difficult for the opponent to benefit from it and, of course, Umbral Spellportal's only purpose is to give another entrypoint/exit point for spells cast at one side of the portal.

Even one of the spells from Stormcast Eternals is basically a flying Balewind Vortex.

So, no, they're not just about "doing mortal wounds". It's more about "using a miniature to play spell effects".

He looked at these new Endless Spells, then said oh love that they all do MW.
I never saw him mention all the endless spells in the game? So why are you just naming spells?

I don’t really care about the fact they do it or not, but everyone is jumping on him for something he didn’t say. Which to be fair is typical Dakka..

Yeah he may have been rude in reply at some point, i forget by now as this keeps going on, but even then clarified what it was he meant (which you’d think he would know, as he made the comment) yet still people are arguing it..

But why label them with "sold out - no longer available", when they already put "temporary out of stock". This kind of stuff scares a lot of people and goads them into buying from scalpers. Who, I think, will be more than happy to sell them for x5 the price.
